  1. Work with me! Work with me! Well this is a double whammy post! I am available for hire and I have a new brand! First of all, I am on the look out for work; I’ve had a project delayed so I’m looking to work with start up and small organisations on branding or website projects. I’m a dab hand at front-end or Drupal too! Feel free to get in touch if you think we’d be a good fit! Secondly, I have been rebranding for what se...
  2. We Stand Together We Stand Together It's been fun experiencing the different hats of producing products. Learning to be patient with manufacturers has been a big lesson and I've enjoyed taking photos of the products and pulling together a website! Profits from each sale go to charity and I've already had to reorder the button badges as they've been so popular! http://we-stand-together.co.uk
  3. We Stand Together We Stand Together This is a side project I've been working on over the last 6 weeks and is the first set of products I've made. Ever since the Manchester bombing I've wanted to help and raise money for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund. I altered an illustration I already had designed of a bee, added hearts for wings and found manufacturers for patches, stickers and badges! http://we-stand-together.co.uk
  4. Records Sound the Same animation Records Sound the Same animation Within the system we decided to also change the number of waves inside of the circle and the colours of their fills. This creates multiple options for Sally to use! A full in depth case study can be found over on my Medium - https://medium.com/@KatherineCory/designing-a-brand-for-records-sound-the-same-fba8ea29526e
  5. Records Sound the Same animation Records Sound the Same animation One of the main aims of Sally's rebrand was to create a flexible system, something she could change depending on the circumstances (i.e. a different logo for the website compared to her Keynote slides) but still remain part of the brand. Creating the rules of the system was challenging; I experimented with changing the waves colours, the colours of the fill and the direction of the waves. This...
  6. Records Sound the Same brand Records Sound the Same brand The final brand grew from the circle waves ideas but introduced new brighter colours, still based on the EP, Records Sound the Same features on. The brand is a flexible system, giving Sally multiple colours, patterns and marks to use in various contexts. A full in depth case study can be found over on my Medium - https://medium.com/@KatherineCory/designing-a-brand-for-records-sound-the-same-f...
  7. Records Sound the Same ideas Records Sound the Same ideas The initial concepts didn't reflect the personable identity Sally wanted to achieve with her rebrand so I took the square sound wave and created a spiky one. The spiky concepts still weren't friendly enough so I created a curvy wave and experimented further with the wave.

  8. Records Sound the Same ideas Records Sound the Same ideas I was approached by Sally Jenkinson of Records Sound the Same to rebrand her business. Records Sound the Same is named after lyrics from a Jimmy Eat World song so these initial ideas were based on the soundwave from the mp3. The colours are taken from the EP the song features on. A full in depth case study can be found over on my Medium - https://medium.com/@KatherineCory/designing-a-brand-fo...
  9. Leicester University advent calendar Leicester University advent calendar I was approached by the University of Leicester to create an advent calendar for their Christmas social media campagin. Every door reveals either a story about the University from 2016, a Christmas event happening on campus or a competition to win prizes! The project was a fun challenge (including a very tight deadline); it was interesing balancing the fun elements like the animating snow and ...
  10. INHWE Mark WIP INHWE Mark WIP Another example of my artboard for a new branding project; INHWE is the International Network for Healthcare Workforce Education and is a new start-up organisation. My brief was to create a colourful, bold and stylish logo around the idea of networks, meetings and the world. When I start a branding project I tend to work in black and white and play around with shapes to see what sticks. I ofte...
  11. INHWE Logo Concepts WIP INHWE Logo Concepts WIP After I've experimented in black and white, I tend to add colour and typography to bring the logos to life. The client wanted to try and combine the abbreviation and organisation name, which was a challenge to say the least! I also had the brief of bright colours to stand out in the healthcare/pharmaceutical industry so I played around with really bright colour palettes and colours that could ...
  12. INHWE Logo INHWE Logo This is the final concept. The client and I agreed to drop the abbreviation so not to overcrowd the logo. I experimented with using Fira Sans, Franklin Gothic and Poppins for the typeface but I felt Karla had the right amount of modernity and friendliness the logo required. Interestingly, this wasn't my favourite concept but my client's knowledge of the industry was far greater than mine so ...
